Autoglass do not hold windscreens for 40s. They obtain them when required from Tornado and then add on their horrendous fitting charge with no guarantee as it is a fibreglass body fitment. I fitted my own front and rear screens (no rubber surround) as i wanted flush fitting and after seeing dreadfull workmanship standards by Autoglass operatives.
No problems after all this time. If you do bond screen in your self always do it in two stages, and only after centre section is fully and properly located, thus avoiding the cracking of windscreens that so many people have experienced.
